Airflow difference
Both publish 2.2 CFM at 90 PSI. Choosing the larger tank does not increase that delivery rating.
2010A VS 8010
Portable tank or larger buffer?
Both publish 2.2 CFM at 90 PSI. Compare the 2- and 8-gallon tanks, size and source limitations.
| What to compare | 2010A | 8010 |
|---|---|---|
| Air delivery at 90 PSI | 2.2 CFM | 2.2 CFM |
| Tank volume | 2 US gal | 8 US gal |
| Duty share | 70% — see manual | 70% — see manual |
| Published noise* | 60 dB | 60 dB |
| Pump type | oil-free | oil-free |
| Weight | Not confirmed | 48 lb |
| Supply voltage | 110 V | 110 V |
*Noise readings are manufacturer figures; measurement methods and distances are not consistently available.
Storage difference
The tanks are 2 and 8 US gallons. Over the same pressure interval, stored free-air volume scales with tank volume. Recovery time also depends on delivery across that interval and is not inferred here.
Limits that remain part of the choice
2010A: 70% running / 30% stopped across a standard workday; additional continuous-use limits apply.
8010: 70% running / 30% stopped across a standard workday; additional continuous-use limits apply.
- Product feature list says 35 lb; additional-information table says 34 lb. weightLb is null pending confirmation.
- 40 PSI airflow conflict: current product page says 3.10 CFM; linked September 2025 manual says 3.00 CFM. The record uses the manual's lower 3.00 CFM and must show this discrepancy.
CHECK THE PAIRING
Your tool. Your working schedule.
Example schedule: 10 trigger seconds each minute. Change it to reflect your job.
Demand exceeds a published limit
The entered workload exceeds a documented pressure or average-flow limit. Review the failed checks below before selecting this pairing.
Your average air demand3.67 CFM10 seconds of trigger time per minute · 1 tool · 30-minute session
Published compressor delivery2.20 CFMAt 90.0 PSI
Manufacturer application limits
For referenceNo category restriction is recorded in this dataset. Check the model manual for your application.
Working pressure
Within this criterionThe tool’s 90 PSI requirement is within the compressor’s 120 PSI pressure ceiling. This does not establish pressure delivered through the regulator, hose and fittings.
Air demand versus published delivery
Does not meet this criterionThis schedule requires 3.67 CFM on average, above 2.2 CFM published at 90 PSI. A larger tank alone does not close the ongoing air-supply deficit.
Airflow during a trigger pull
Check the conditionsWhile the trigger is held, 22 CFM exceeds the 2.2 CFM delivery rating. Stored air may help a short burst, but pressure-switch behavior, burst length and losses have not been simulated.
Pump duty
Check the conditionsA simplified air balance implies 166.67% pump-on time; the recorded duty share is 70%. The estimated requirement exceeds that share. 70% running / 30% stopped across a standard workday; additional continuous-use limits apply. This is not a measured cycle or a continuous-use approval.
Session duration
Check the conditions30 minutes is recorded for your planned session. Model-specific duration limits, cooling breaks and actual cycling are not automatically validated. This field does not change the airflow calculation.
Hose and connections
Check the conditionsThe tool specifies a minimum 0.38-inch hose inside diameter; its recorded air inlet is 0.25 inch. Confirm thread type, coupler profile, hose length and available flow separately; matching nominal sizes alone is not a connection check.
Calculation details
167% estimated pump-on share from average demand ÷ rated delivery. This is an air-balance estimate, not an observed duty cycle or permission to run continuously.
1.5 seconds of theoretical stored-air drawdown over 120 → 90 PSI, with the pump off and a continuous trigger pull. This is not actual operating time, recharge time, or storage life.
Specification screening only. Actual pressure at the tool, hose losses, pump cycling and installation conditions are not established by an average-flow calculation.
